We are building humanity's public library: https://www.Outernet.is

We take content from the web and broadcast those bits over satellite; no subscription required to receive our data broadcasts. We are currently available in North America, Europe, Middle East, and North Africa (two separate satellites). We expect to be globally accessible by the end of the year and will start our mobile service in early 2015.

We are working towards putting a library in every village, home, and pocket.



Cool. It's like the RMS version of the web (he browses by sending an email with a url to a server, which emails him back the html).
